Pardon the off-topic but I'm curious about the meat, does it have similarities with other common meats like beef, pork, chicken in terms of texture, fats and ta

  It's most similar to venison (deer meat) or rabbit. It's incredibly lean meat, almost no fat and very red, and it has a very strong gamey flavour. People either love it or hate it. If you overcook it, it's like eating leather. I'm now a vegetarian, but it used to be my favourite meat. I used to eat it more often than beef. It also helps that kangaroo meat is cheaper than beef in Australia.

  It's a lot like beef, not surprising since they essentially fill the same niche. The flavor is a lot stronger though, personally I couldn't eat a thick roo steak like a would eat a beef one, a burger with a thin patty is fine. My personal favorite is to use roo strips instead of bacon/ham on a chicken parma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_parmigiana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_parmigiana .

  It's like very lean beef but more gamey. Most people don't like it. It's usually used as pet food.

    Depends on how you prepare it - if it's not hung and bled properly you generally end up with a particularly gamey flavour.

  almost no fat, which makes it hard to cook right. it goes tough very easily. The best roo I've ever had was Kangaroo tail, cooked over many hours buried under the remains of a campfire. (aboriginal style) pulled it out, cracked the fur off it (cause it melted and cooked into a hard shell) then peeled the meat off with my fingers... it was buttery soft.
